Hicimos rafting con esta compañía y no puedo decir mas que cosas maravillosas,un precio accesible por una experiencia magnífica, hicimos el tour con el guia Mario,una persona muy carismática y agradable,que se ve que ama el trabajo que hace,la comida que ofrecen en el restaurante después del rafting estuvo muy bien,comentamos que teníamos alergia a algunos alimentos y que desearíamos una modificación de un plato y ellos con mucho gusto nos ayudaron en todo,el echo de que tomen fotos y sean completamente gratuitas es un gran plus para llevarse un lindo recuerdo,vimos muchos animales y perezosos,sin duda los recomiendo 💯

10/10 — Maquique Aventura Set the Standard! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maquique Aventura was hands down one of the best excursions we’ve ever done. From beginning to end, the energy, hospitality, and attention from the guides were incredible. The guides were fun, lively, welcoming, and genuinely seemed excited to have us there. They kept the energy high throughout the entire excursion, made us laugh, encouraged us, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe while still making the experience feel adventurous. One thing that especially stood out was how accommodating they were with my fiancée. She has naturally curly hair and needed a larger helmet to fit comfortably. It wasn’t made into an issue at all. They simply found the right helmet for her and even made sure she could comfortably wear her waterproof cap underneath. That small interaction meant a lot because she was able to enjoy the experience without ever feeling like she was an inconvenience. And the canyoning itself?! SO MUCH FUN. Rappelling down waterfalls, getting soaked, climbing through the canyon—it was exactly the type of Costa Rican adventure we were hoping for. We felt safe the entire time without the experience ever feeling overly controlled or rushed. Another huge plus: THE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS! The guides took pictures and videos throughout the excursion using their phones and ours. Afterward, they emailed everything to us within minutes. No ridiculous photo package or feeling like you had to pay extra just to have memories from something you already paid to experience. What really makes Maquique special, though, is the people. Their energy completely changes the experience. They weren’t just there to get us through the course—they made sure we were having a genuinely good time. We did another adventure excursion while in La Fortuna afterward, and it honestly made us appreciate Maquique even more. Maquique set the bar extremely high. If you’re visiting La Fortuna and want something that feels adventurous, authentic, welcoming, and like a hell of a good time, BOOK MAQUIQUE AVENTURA. We would do it again without hesitation. 100% worth it! 🇨🇷❤️

Un éxito! Los guías le ponen toda la onda, son muy divertidos! Te hacen sentir segura y reír un montón. El lugar es muy lindo, cada punto es un desafío super entretenido. 100% recomendados. Instrucciones claras, seguridad, las colaciones muy ricas y frescas. La comida del restaurant no incluía bebidas por lo q se abona un pequeño extra ahi. En todos lados habian duchas y lugares secos y seguros para guardar las cosas. Nos sacaron fotos hermosas.

We did the White Water Rafting and had a great time. Our guide Mario was extremely nice and funny. Also the price is really fair since pictures, drinks, lunch and fresh fruit were included in the package. We would definitely come back!

The Thrill of a Lifetime in the Arenal Jungle! The Thrill of a Lifetime in the Costa Rican Jungle! This was truly the thrill of a lifetime! Canyoning and rappelling through the middle of the Costa Rican jungle, with the rain pouring down around us, made the experience even more incredible. Our guides were absolutely amazing—we felt safe the entire time, and they encouraged and cheered us on as we rappelled down beautiful waterfalls. From the adventurous drive up the mountain to the final zip ride into the canyon, every part of the experience exceeded our expectations. The scenery was breathtaking, the adrenaline was nonstop, and it was one of those mornings we will never forget. The free photos were such an added bonus and captured moments from what truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We finished the adventure at a local soda with a delicious Costa Rican lunch, which ended up being one of our favorite meals of the entire trip. If you are looking for adventure, incredible scenery, amazing guides, and an experience you’ll be talking about long after you leave Costa Rica, do this! We would recommend it in a heartbeat.
